Jeanette era una adolescente cuando empezó cantando aquel ‘Cállate niña’ y mantiene aún sobre los escenarios, como por arte de magia, el inconfundible ángel de su voz. Icono del indie pop, del que fue precursora a finales de los años 60 con el grupo Pic Nic. En los 70 creció como baladista melódica. Manuel Alejandro y J. L. Perales le escribieron himnos tan universales como ‘Soy rebelde’ y ‘Porque te vas’. Y en los 80 iría a más con el álbum ‘Corazón de poeta’ y éxitos como ‘Frente a frente’. Más allá de la nostalgia, cada nueva generación vuelve a reivindicarla. Jeanette, la eterna voz de la inocencia.

Jeanette is an English-born Spanish pop star who was popular throughout the 1970s and 1980s, scoring a long string of hit singles, most notably "Porque Te Vas." Born Janette Anne Dimech on October 10, 1951, in London, England, she grew up in the United States. At age 12 she moved to Barcelona with her mother, who was of Spanish heritage, and she learned to speak Spanish. During the 1960s she took an interest in American folk music (e.g., Bob Dylan, the Byrds) and began writing songs of her own. In 1967-1968 she recorded a series of mostly unsuccessful singles ("Cállate, Niña," "Amanecer," "Me Olvidarás") with the band Pic-Nic, plus a full-length album Pic-Nic (1968). During the early '70s, after the demise of Pic-Nic, she embarked on a solo career and scored her first hit single in 1971 with "Soy Rebelde," a song written by <a href="spotify:artist:75n1ioKjHudUIuIm2ugUao" data-name="Manuel Alejandro">Manuel Alejandro</a>,.
